About us

Yoga Sutra Shala is your Yoga Retreat Centre in Spain for learning Vinyasa Yoga. We pride ourselves on being the most unique yoga retreat centre in the world and giving you the best of what the world has to offer in terms of yoga, meditation, health, nutrition, organic food, relaxation, peace, mountain views, fresh air and everything else you can expect to find.

From your first day here we want you to feel as if you are at home and yet at a special place of peace. You will find yourself in a very friendly atmosphere and you will make friends with others like yourself from around the world.

Your yoga retreat centre or “shala” (meaning ‘place of refuge’ in Sanskrit), is one of the most unique places for finding inner peace: A special place that exists in the world, where you can develop how you want to. Your shala is a place to escape stress and learn to become relaxed, healthy and happy.

The founder of your yoga retreat centre, Namit, has a strong family tradition of yoga and has studied yoga all over the world, including in his native India. His background as a leading health professional allows him to apply and explain the health benefits of yoga scientifically and to a high level. As a result, his teaching system at Yoga Sutra Shala is one of the most developed, traditional, respected and original systems in the world. You will find that your yoga retreat is designed towards your wants and needs – to help you develop as an individual.
